(3) K-3 After a boy finds an airplane in his closet, he takes it for a spin and gets stuck on the moon. There he meets a likewise-stranded Martian. Together, they devise a plan that ensures each makes it home safely. Jeffers places his sparely drawn protagonists against expansive backdrops; their relative tininess underscores the story's tender emotions.
